Two 1st rounders.. developed into NHL players.. gone for nothing..
Had the cap space.. choose to do nothing.. big loss in roster value for the franchise..
Have no idea now why they traded Ceci when they did.

Trading Ceci at a time when they had no leverage and knew they needed someone to fill his spot is the part that I don't understand. Losing a couple of prospects because of cap troubles and not overpaying is mostly fine. But why trade Ceci now?
Is there a new capfriendly site?
|
Yeah, the Ceci trade is now a big w.t.f in hindsight (except for people that didn't like his play).
Maybe if that Emberson kid pans out it makes sense.

That's a player in full decline with a $3.25MM contract for this year. He can't possibly live up to that deal, so trading him is a net benefit.
Having the ability to match the offer was probably pretty key in negotiating the additional compensation from St. Louis. A 3rd in 2028 and a 19-year old former 5th round pick are not huge pieces, but they are better than just a 2nd and a 3rd alone for those two players.
We now have room to buy if there's a piece that's worth acquiring. If we find someone who's a top-4 RHD, we can just act without trying to find a way to park a contract to make it work. There's a real value to that.
Finally, if the team doesn't make any more moves, they can start the season with Kane on the roster and then put him on LTIR. I don't quite understand the mechanics, but that's better for the Oilers than if they put him on LTIR before the season.
I think Emberton is a pretty good gamble and may be better than Ceci as early as now.
